The
fanfic that started it all. The Enterprise must travel back in time to
rescue the Enterprise-C, despite the obvious damage to the space-time
continuum. Wesley Crusher invents a cloaking device that only covers
the engineering section, so control of the rest of the ship is handed
over
to Marrissa and her Kids' Crew. Add in a plot about Gul Dukat invading
Earth in a single ship, and hilarity ensues. MiSTed in two parts by David
Z. C. Hines.

Picard
and newly adopted Marrissa are sentenced to oversee a training voyage
full of annoying cadets. However, Marrissa proves more skilled, more
disciplined, and more annoying than any of them, so when Romulans
decide to invade, she is put in charge of Earth's defense. Finally,
young Marrissa is promoted to full ensign, thus beginning her
bloodthirsty quest for galactic domination. MiSTed by Steve Brinich, Petrea Mitchell,

demigod Q transports all of the Enterprise crew members to

Ratliff's
fifth Marrissa saga was just too big to fit into one story, so this
one's divided into three parts. In part 1, young Marrissa's field trip
shuttle is attacked and crashes on an uninhabited world. Using nothing
but the amazing amount of supplies found in the shuttle and her own
power to boss the other children around, Marrissa fights off supposedly
tough space pirates in a wacky Home Alone fashion. All 3 parts
MiSTed by Mike Barklage , Petrea Mitchell,
and Todd Gilbert.

Yes,
it's back. Again. Never one to leave well enough alone, we once again
return to the story of Marrissa's first adventure with her future Kid's
Crew companions. And this time a cast of video game characters get to
riff it! MiSTed by Anthony Bault, but removed as per his

Regular
Enterprise crewmen are once again rendered completely ineffective
as 13-year-old Marrissa leads an away mission behind enemy lines and
diffuses
a hostage situation with random, uncontrolled violence.

Marrissa
is hit on by Starfleet perverts, then kidnapped by vengeful aliens from
part 1. The usual wacky madcap mayhem ensues. Includes the exciting
"who commands what ship where" speech, over and over and over again
ad nauseum.

Star
Trek meets King Ralph. An entire royal family of Essex
explodes, except for one person, and the Enterprise is called in to
investigate. Meanwhile, Picard and Beverly get married, and Marrissa
runs several pointless simulations to "train" the rest of the crew, in
case the ship is ever invaded by hostile practical jokers. MiSTed by Suzanne
Schroeder.
-
-
This
long unfinished MiSTing was finally completed some three years
after part 1. In the conclusion, Marrissa apprehends the Romulan and
Tracke
co-conspirators, who were plotting to kill the entire royal family for
some
damn reason that is never fully explained. Then the Pope shows up in
his
souped-up 24th century Popemobile to vaporize the bad guys into space
dust.
Finally, "A Royal Mess" ends as all good Star Trek stories end
--
with a lengthy coronation, a fancy dress party in a shuttlecraft bay,
and
25 billion promotions. MiSted by Dave Hines, Mighty

Story
#7 is unlucky for all involved as Ratliff spins his worst yarn of all
time. Marrissa, now 15 years old and Second Officer, is on traffic duty
when she encounters some anti-Starfleet terrorists on their way to the
past to prevent Starfleet from existing. Marrissa follows them back to
1996, where she gets Bill Clinton's help to capture the baddies.
Includes a romance between Wesley Crusher and Chelsea Clinton, the
revelation that Star Trek is a 100% accurate depiction of our
future, and a showcase of Ratliff's extremely poor grasp of U.S.
politics and world affairs. MiSTed by Mike Barklage , Petrea Mitchell,
and Jess Nevins.

First
MiSTing of Ratliff's updated "Time Speeder." Marrissa heads back in
time to stop an evil plan from destroying Starfleet before it gets
started. In the meantime, someone is knocking off the Royal Family of

Atkinson , Matt
Blackwell, Kevin Gowen, Raf Kaplan, Bill Livingston, Mighty

Second
MiSTing of Ratliff's updated "Time Speeder." Marrissa heads back
in time to stop an evil plan from destroying Starfleet before it gets
started. In the meantime, someone is knocking off the Royal Family of
Britain. Oh, and Chelsea Clinton is an intern. Hmm. That plot sounds
kinda familiar... Papaya version by Matt Blackwell, Bart
Fargo, Amanda Flowers, Sarah
Heiner, Karen Kallestad, Jeffrey Ray Roberts ,
and TV's Francis.

Ratliff's
southern background shines through in this story, as half the former
Kids' Crew gets married to the other half - Marrissa to Jay, Clara to
Alexander - despite the fact that none of them are old enough to buy
alcohol. Meanwhile, evil but stupid Romulans decide to crash Marrissa's
wedding. As usual, Marrissa then commands a vastly superior fleet to
brutally slaughter every last Romulan ship. Marrissa's virginity
becomes a major plot element. MiSTed by Adam
Cadre.

This
9th Marrissa story is kinda strange for Ratliff. There are no evil
aliens, Marrissa doesn't have any violent psychotic episodes, and the
spelling is generally decent. As you might expect, this means the
story is about 1/3 as long as usual. C&tD tells the story of how
Marrissa gets Picard and Crusher together, happily married, and
spitting out kids like no tomorrow. Also, Ratliff apparently thought
the phrase "the Captain and the Doctor" was so cute that he decided to
insert it in the story about 1000 times. MiSTed by Jamie Plummer.
-
-
Ratliff's
10th chronicles the so-called "War of Romulan Dissolution." First,
Riker blows up his second consecutive Enterprise, apparently just to
allow Marrissa's new ship to take on the name. Then Captain Marrissa
rushes to Riker's rescue, pausing only long enough to destroy her usual
quota of Romulan ships commanded by idiots. There is one part towards
the
end that pretty much sums up this fanfic: Marrissa, who is five months
pregnant and has just blown up half the Romulan fleet, is promoted to
Admiral. Not only is her bloodthirsty quest of galactic domination
nearly completed, but she is also about to spawn. God help us all.

Maquis
rebels Ro and Eddington attempt to capture a Starfleet ship
by filling it with "Ratliff Gas," which only affects adults. The Kids'
Crew
is, of course, called on to defend against the Maquis, which they do
with
the typical precision of a crack team of 10-year-old SWAT members. Ro
is
captured and put on trial, and Marrissa is selected as her defense
attorney. What follows is perhaps the most nonsensical trial since OJ
put on his Bruno Maglis. MSTed by Loren Haarsma, Jarek
Myszewski, and David Conner.

Starfleet
Command is blown up by Romulans, killing every admiral in the fleet,
including Riker (yay!). Picard escapes the slaughter, but is put into a
coma after a lot of people step on his face. Since the command
structure is completely destroyed and Earth's doom is obviously at
hand, a pregnant 24-year-old named Marrissa is put in charge of the
whole shebang. Oh, and did I mention that Lwaxanna Troi is the
President of the Federation? That would all make for an inspired Trek
spoof if it weren't for the fact that this is just Ratliff's 12th
literary travesty. The MiSTing is preceded by a Ratliff short, "Dear
Isabella," in which Clara talks to the voices in her head. MiSTed by Jarek
Myszewski,"Merritt Stone", "Badger", and Kevin
Gowen.

A
disjointed series of vignettes in the life of Marrissa and Co.
Cardassia and The Dominion join forces and invade the Federation, but

in Picard's hometown in France. There, Marrissa meets a town in much
need of therapy, goes tee-shirt shopping, gets over her dead parents,
goes skinny-dipping (again), wins the Belmont Stakes, and receives
advice from the Pope himself and his sidekick, Father Frances/Francis,
the first hermaphrodite ordained by the Catholic Church. MiSTed by Mighty

It's
a Very Marrissa Christmas as Ratliff once again returns to France for
more familial soap opera. The entire story consists of small talk,
wine, and a dull Catholic mass - in other words, it's much like
Christmas with my family, and about as exciting. Meanwhile, a
minor character makes amends with her estranged father - or doesn't,
since the story ends rather abruptly at this point. MiSTed by Matthew Blackwell.
-
-
In
his author's notes, Ratliff promises to depict a more fallible Marrissa
in this story. Instead, he gives us Henry Jellico, a spineless,
incompetent boob who obviously must be evil because he hates
Marrissa. Jellico orders a dangerous training mission resulting in
several off screen deaths, and Marrissa arrests him, maintaining her
record of absolute perfection. In the end, even Jellico decides that,
gosh, maybe she isn't so bad after all. Meanwhile, 14-year-old JAG
officer/toady Jay Gordon displays amazing powers of mesmerism, and the
whole thing ends at
a horse race for no damn reason. MiSTed by Bill Livingston, Matt Blackwell,
and Kevin Gowen. Another version, by Bryan
Jacobs, may be found here.
